      That’s right. If they had not mentioned him or mentioned a few examples, him among them, that would have made the optics very different.

        Problem with that though is their intention was specifically him. You’re removing their motive from this by saying they could have not talked about him. Their motive was him. Honoring him. Lionizing him. Making a murder martyr of him. You can’t take away the motive.
